Gotta have the new Saturn, although I have 3-4 in storage! Great to know C5-3 is coming in May. Really glad a C5-0 is also on the way. New Solar Starter is good news for the masses. I re-dip current ones, so it is sort of a “don’t care” for me. I really like NCR’s F-117, hope the $117 price tag mentioned previously was a joke!
ReplyDeleteWhite Lighting Q-Jets. I think I find my new favorite LPR motor. I haven't flown one yet because I hate the Blackjack propellant.
ReplyDeleteHi Metal,
DeleteI just started using the Q-Jets. They are quieter than the black powder motors and have that dense dark gray smoke. I'm curious to try the White Lightning propellant now. On the video it's interesting that the Q-Jet Cs and Ds are the most popular. I had a feeling those would be the best sellers.
If I recall correctly, wasn't Estes going to release the same F117 some years ago themselves? Saw this in a '90s catalog, probably like 95 or so....and it too was to work the same way, with one elevon molded 'up' and the other held negative - "down", by a pod for boost. Thought this was supposed to be kit number 2117.
